नारायणस्य प्रीत्यर्थं तदेवाक्षय्यमाप्यते । मर्त्यस्त्यजति श्रद्धावान्सोऽनंतफलभाग्भवेत्
nārāyaṇasya prītyarthaṃ tadevākṣayyamāpyate | martyastyajati śraddhāvānso'naṃtaphalabhāgbhavet
ナーラーヤナを喜ばせるために、その放棄／戒行は朽ちぬ果報となる。信をもってそれを捨てる者は、無尽の功徳の分け前にあずかる。
Brahmā
Type: kshetra
Scene: A pilgrim-householder, hands folded, makes a saṅkalpa before a small Viṣṇu/Nārāyaṇa shrine near a tīrtha; a palm-leaf manuscript and a water-pot indicate vrata discipline; the aura suggests ‘akṣaya’ merit flowing like an unending stream.
FAQs
